How is your appetite? First 7 days you can try sesame oil. Along with that you need to focus on your food routine, it’s not proper I guess
I have a good appetite. Like when I do mental work , like studying continously. I often feel hungry in every 2 hours.
How much is your water intake daily?
It may be due to just long time sitting. Application of oil before bath in empty stomach (not even water). Having generous amount of ghee with hot food as a topping. Take break in every 40-50mins and move your all joints, clockwise and anti clockwise 5 times. Walk a little.
Apply/instill 3-4 drops warm coconut oil into nostrils.
Yes,without any doubt you may use it too…
For your problem you mentioned balaswagandhadi oil is good for abhyangam. Regular message you can use coconut oil during summer season and hot days. During cold season use sesame oil for Massage… Donot use soap after oil massage can use paste of besan+turmeric powder+chandan powder mix with rose water.
For those with a Vata-Kapha prakriti, choosing the right oil for Abhyanga (self-massage) can make all the difference. This combination often requires warmth and grounding that a heavier oil can provide. Given the vata component, oils that have warming and nourishing properties are preferred. As such, sesame oil, known for its warming nature and ability to penetrate deeply, is generally a great base choice for Vata-Kapha individuals.
However, when specifically addressing issues like muscle fatigue, knuckles pain, cracking sounds, and morning stiffness, medicated oils offer the additional therapeutic benefits. Balaswagandhadi Thailam, indeed, can be a good option. It contains Ashwagandha, better known for its adaptogenic qualities, and Bala, recognized for strengthening the nervous system and easing stiffness and pain. Still, there are some other oils worth considering:
1. For Muscle Fatigue: Mahanarayan oil can be beneficial here. It’s deeply nourishing and supports relaxation of the muscles.
2. Knuckles Pain: Dhanwantaram thailam might work well too, it’s formulated to address joint and muscle discomfort.
3. Cracking Sounds: Ashwagandhadi oil supports joint health and reduces those cracking sounds by lubricating the joints.
4. Morning Stiffness: Kottamchukkadi oil is effective, known for its ability to ease stiffness and improve blood circulation when applied warm.
In practice, gently warm the oil before applying to your skin, using long strokes on the limbs and circular motions on the joints. Ensure the oil soaks in by leaving it on for at least 15–30 minutes before rinsing off. Doing this routine regularly can significantly improve the symptoms over time but do ensure you are consistent without overdoing it. If you have severe pain or worsening conditions, consulting a professional might be needed.
